170 East 78th St. #4F

Dramatic double height ceilings and oversized casement windows define this mint condition one-bedroom duplex apartment at Morgan Studios, a full-service prewar cooperative building.

A short hall leads from the entry to a balcony overlooking the grand entertaining area which features 13’ ceilings, two sets of 9’ high by 7.5’ wide south facing casement windows, coffered ceilings and a wood burning fireplace with limestone mantle. Currently a living/dining room, the space lends itself to multiple seating configurations while the dining area can be created on the balcony. Discretely tucked below the balcony are three outfitted closets accessed by elegantly curtained French doors.

Up a short flight of stairs is the windowed chef’s kitchen. Renovated to perfection it includes hand carved marble countertops, custom cabinetry, mosaic tile flooring, a Viking stove, Subzero refrigerator and freezer drawers and a Miele dishwasher.

Also located on the upper level is the master bedroom and en suite marble bath with a large sink and luxurious walk-in shower.

Refinished original hardwood floors and through-wall air conditioning with limestone covers run throughout.

A washer/dryer may be added with Board approval.

Built in 1927, Morgan Studios offers a 24-hour doorman, resident manager, central laundry room and storage. Pets, pied a terres, guarantors, and co-purchasing are allowed with Board approval. Gifting is permitted. Located on 78th Street between Lexington and Third Avenues, the building is convenient to the 6 and Q trains, and is surrounded by the many restaurants, shops, services, and movie theaters that the Upper East Side has to offer.
